There are two separate areas in Santiago. There is an area for the very rich people and there is a part for the poor people. I come from the poor side of the city. The very rich people never cross over to the poor side of the city. But sometimes the poor people save their money and cross over to visit the beach on the rich side.Dad drove buses. He would leave for work just after 4 am. His pay depended on the number of people who rode in his bus, so he would keep driving until he had made enough money forthe day. Mum worked as a barber(理发师). She did not come home until late at night. My brother, sister and I spent a lot of time with my grandparents.Dad had lived in Australia when he was younger. He told us about the large parks covered with grass. He told us about the beaches that were close to the cities which anyone could visit. Dad thought it would be better if we moved to Australia.We could only take things that could fit in our suitcases(手提箱). I took clothes and a few special things that reminded(使......想起) me of Chile. I took photographs, a box covered with sand from the beaches of Chile and traditional toy.I was very sad to leave my friends and family, especially my grandmother. My grandmoter had always looked after me. I didn’t want to leave her, but Dad said that she would come and visit us in Australia one day. When I left, I cut off some of my hair so that my grandmother would remember me.Flying to Australia was a long journey. We stopped in Argentina and New Zealand before finally reaching Australia.24.What was the author’s life like in Santiago?A.He led a hard life.B.He lived in the wealthy area.C.He always went to the beach.D.He often visited the rich side of the city.25.How did the author’s father’s early life in Australia affect him?A.It caused him to move there.B.It pushed him to go back home.C.It made him hate his hometown.D.It encouraged him to find a better family.26.What can we infer from Paragraph 4 about the author?A.He brought everything he needed to Australia.B.He thought he wouldn’t come back.C.He has many expensive things.D.He loves his motherland.27.How did the author feel about leaving for Australia?A.He was very excited about it.B.He was unconcerned about it.C.He regretted his decision before leaving.D.He was unwilling to part with his grandmother.CThe earliest cars made just for racing were built low to the ground and just wide enough for a single passenger, the driver. In the early 1900s, the drivers were the same people who invented and built the first passenger cars. For example, Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, sometimes raced his cars. In 1906, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was founded by Carl Fisher. On August 19, 1909, the first car race took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Twelve thousand were in attendance. In 1911, the first Indianapolis 500 was held there with 40 racers. Finishing in 6 hours and 42 minutes, first-place winner Ray Harroun clocked in at what seemed back in those days an unbelievably high average speed of 74.59 mph!Over the years, as technology improved, these cars became lighter and faster. There are two kinds of open-wheel racecars, IndyCars and Formula One. IndyCars are almost exactly identical(完全相同的) to each other, so the race is a test of driving skills around a street, or race course, mostly in the U.S.; Formula One cars are customized(定做的) and raced on road courses around the world. Unlike the kind of car your family drives, neither IndyCars or F1 cars have doors, and their wheels are on the outside of the car’s body.In 1936, Louis Meyer asked for a bottle of buttermilk after he became the first three-time Indy 500 winner, which led to the tradition of winners drinking a bottle of milk on Victory Lane(车道).The Indy 500 has grown into one of the most anticipated(期待的) international racing events of the year, with hundreds of thousands of fans flooding into the stands each May. In 2011, it celebrated its 100th event---and tickets sold out for the first time ever.28.What do we know about the first Indianapolis 500?A.It was founded by Carl Fisher.B.It had twelve thousand racers.C.It was the first car race.D.It was held in 1909.29.Different from Formula One racing, IndyCar racing is .A.raced with the same carsB.held in different countriespeted on road coursesD.an open-wheel car competition30.Why did the author mention Louis Meyer?A.To introduce his great invention.B.To show his influence on drivers.C.To describe a fun fact about the Indianapolis 500.D.To explain the important role of the Indianapolis 500.31.What can we infer from the last paragraph about the Indianapolis 500?A.It neeeds a larger speedway.B.It enjoys great popularity.C.It will raise its ticket prices.D.It has an unpromising future.DIf you visit the new Mummies(木乃伊) show at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH), in New York City, don’t miss the Gilded Lady. Scientists say she probably died of lung disease when she was in her 40s---about 2,000 years ago---in Egypt. They even have a model of her skull(头骨). Based on that, an artist was sure how she may have looked when she was alive. And yet, the mummy’s coffin has never been opened. Instead, scientists used a machine called a CT scanner(扫描仪) to look inside.CT scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients. But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies, too.“A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies’ coffins. This did a great deal of harm to those mummies,” say AMNH president Ellen V. Futter. “We just don’t do that anymore. We can do so much better. By using CT scanners, scientists can know about an ancient person’s diet from some of a mummy’s hair. Pieces of bone can show who was related to whom.”Some mummies in Peru were buried with a skull hanging from their neck. Scientists thought these mummies wore the skull of an enemy. But DNA evidence showed that the mummies were buriedwith the skull of an ancestor(祖先).The 19 mummies in the show are from Egypt and Peru. They had completely different reasons for mummifying the dead. The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification allowed an ancestor to live on in the next world. The people who prepared the Gilded Lady thought she would continue to see, hear, and smell. In ancient Peru, people practiced mummification to stay connected with their ancestors. Some families kept mummies in their home.Futter calls the mummies in the show “messengers from another time.” With the help of technology, scientists will continue to uncover mummies’ secrets so we can understand it.32.What did scientists find about the Gilded Lady?A.She was a great artist.B.She died a natural death.C.She lived in ancient Egypt.D.She had an amazingly long life.33.What do Futter’s words suggest?A.Pieces of bone show a person’s diet.B.CT scanners do great harm to mummies.C.Mummies usually wore the skull of an enemy.D.Technology plays an important role in mummy studies.34.Why did the ancient Peruvians make mummies?A.To do traditional medical research.B.To keep close ties with their relatives.C.To help their families live a better life.D.To let their ancestors live in another world.35.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.The technology.B.Their message.C.Their family.D.The show.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
